In addition to dental checkup, the editor of Indonesia Expat had the chance to visit the new clinic premises of Escalade Dental Specialist Center, South Jakarta, and receive a scaling treatment by one of the most recommended dentists in the city.
Let’s begin with this: scaling treatment on your teeth is important — and no amount of mouth-wash (oral rinse) product can be the substitute for it. And if you share the same lifestyle as mine — a lifestyle of which you cannot go through each day without at least three cups of black coffee — perhaps it is high time for you to turn ‘scaling treatment appointments’ into one of the most essential routines of your life.
But what is scaling treatment, exactly?
To put it simply, scaling (or, teeth scaling) is a procedure to clean or remove tartar (also known as clumped minerals) that stick to the gum line. This treatment is considered very common in this day and age, and should be done to protect tooth enamel under the gums, as well as the gum tissue, from periodontal disease. In addition, with healthy teeth and gums, you can also avoid other oral problems and tooth loss.
